The 14th conference of the "EUROPE-INBO" group, which took place in Lourdes, France,
from 19 to 22 October 2016, at the invitation of the French Water Agencies, the City of
Lourdes and with ONEMA’s support, gathered 200 participants, representatives of national
administrations and basin organizations, elected official, as well as of NGOs, companies,
international and regional organizations and academic institutions.
The work of the 14th
"EUROPE - INBO 2016" international conference in Lourdes was
organized around four roundtables dedicated to current events in the practical
implementation of the WFD and other European water-related directives. They allowed
discussing the following issues:
WFD: towards the 2019 review;
Water governance in transboundary basins;
Adaptation to Climate Change: Resources management, scarcity and drought;
Adaptation to Climate Change: Knowledge of Flood Risks, Management of Aquatic Environments and Preventive Measures in the Basins.
The "EUROPE - INBO 2016" conference is a new step for the WFD implementation in the 2
nd
cycle of River Basin Management Plans (2016-2021), but also for formulating proposals on
the future of this Directive, based on field practices of the EUROPE-INBO members as well
as on taking climate change into account in the future.
While welcoming the progress made in WFD implementation, the EUROPE-INBO Members
consider that the efforts made in the implementation of measures should be increased so
that all water bodies achieve "good status" within a reasonable time.
